PREVENTING AND FIGHTING CORRUPTION THROUGH PUBLIC POLICIES

Abstract

Law enforcement does not engage in a vaccum space, yet it is related to
variables of socio-political condition, mental of the law enforcers, criminal law
procedures, law ideology, NGOs, and legal awareness of the society. Moreover,
fighting corruption through law enforcement demands collective awareness as
stakeholders to actively participate in national efforts to prevent and eradicate
corruption. Measures taken on the prevention must be built in socio-political climate
and national collective culture which enforce zero tolerance to any forms of corruption, including bribery, gratification, trading influence, illicit enrichment, corporate corruption, political corruption, collusion, and nepotism.
